EXTRAWELT - DYSTORTION
Imagined over six years and shaped by a world in flux through COVID, political upheavals, social media, and AI, it reflects the contrasts and twists we’ve all felt while offering surges of serenity and hope.
DYSTORTION is a reflection of a complex, divided world, carried through dramatically with Extrawelt’s signature techno tension. Like the world right now, it is full of contradictions, surprises, and moments of introspection.

RECENT RELEASES
Cocoon Recordings was founded in 2000 by DJ and producer Sven Väth in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, as part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. The label provides a platform for electronic artists to release music independently of major label structures. While its roots lie firmly in techno, Cocoon Recordings embraces a wide spectrum of electronic music styles, consistently focusing on high-quality, forward-thinking productions.
As a vinyl-first label, Cocoon Recordings remains committed to physical releases alongside digital formats. Its annual compilation series, launched with letter A and continuing alphabetically each year, has now traveled far along its journey. The series has earned cult status and has become a treasure chest of electronic music, featuring exclusive tracks that capture both emerging voices and established talent.
In addition to the compilation series, Cocoon Recordings regularly releases EPs, singles, and albums, occasionally as special editions on colored vinyl or picture discs, underlining the label's dedication to creativity, quality, and the vinyl experience.
For more than two decades, Cocoon Recordings has remained a cornerstone of electronic music, supporting artists, advancing the genre, and celebrating the culture of the dance floor and vinyl collectors worldwide.
